1120S form Officer wages don't match

[crbolken]

For my S Corp business taxes, when I enter the wage for officer, it returns differently than what I entered.

Why?

The wages do not match where? How are you entering the wages? Please provide more details.

I'm using Business edition for my S-Corp. When I enter Salaries & Wages in the Officer cell of $41865 and click continue, it returns to the page showing Compensation and Benefits, which under it, Salaries and Wages show $43431. I can't find where the $1566 addition is coming from. I even entered 0 for wages and the $1566 appears.

Switch to the FORMS mode and click on that amount in question to data source where it came from.

The form 1125E is blank.

I filled out the 1125E form and it corrected the problem.  ???

If you had clicked on the REVIEW tab that issue probably would have been presented  ... in the FORMS mode if you look at the list of forms ... if you see a red ! mark that means there is an error or unfinished section on that form ... by clicking on the form you will see the red/pink errors boxes.  Although you really need to use the step by step mode to make all data entries the Forms mode can come in handy.
